bjoern_tantau, to asklemmy in If you got COVID and lost the ability to taste things, did it ever come back? Otherwise, did you experience any other long term consequences from the pandemic in general?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Didn’t lose my smell or taste but after the initial flu-like stage of my infection was over I didn’t really get any better. And my doctor made it worse by telling me to power through and start working again. Nowadays I can only leave the bed to go to the toilet.

I’m about to participate in a study with some experimental treatments. Stupid thing is that I have to do an exercise test at the beginning so that they can measure the effectiveness. I took a shower last week and that’s left me in pain that will persist over the next few weeks. I shudder to think about what that exercise test will do.

But Portal taught me to do everything for science.

bjoern_tantau, to asklemmy in How do I get my sense of taste back after covid?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

I even got Long Covid, but I never lost my taste or smell. I kind of wish I did. Because I’m too weak to brush my teeth regularly.

bjoern_tantau, to baldurs_gate_3 in [SPOILER] How do you interpret the intro?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

And Lae’zel was definirely part of a mission to recover the artifact (for Orpheus - they definitely don’t know about the emperor) and got captured, she wasn’t just hunting mindflayers

But when you ask her either about the Prism or the dragon riders she has no idea what they are about. She thinks they are just hunting the Nautiloid. She knows that there are Githyanki symbols on the Prism but that’s it.

bjoern_tantau, to linuxmemes in Looks like I'll be distrohopping again!
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

To be frank I went away from Gentoo for much the same reason. And the constant compilation. I only used it once after that for a small project where I needed to minimise what actually lands in the OS.

But all that was years ago.

That’s why God invented OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for all your stable rolling release needs.

bjoern_tantau, to linux in Is there such a thing as split-screen grep?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

I usually solve this kind of problem by piping to less or a logfile and then just searching in there. You can get it to refresh new content by pressing the End key twice. Or maybe less just needs the -f flag or something similar. I’m too lazy to look it up.

bjoern_tantau, to asklemmy in What's it called when a title has "or" in it followed by a different title?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Reminds me of the novelisation of Day of the Tentacle that had the title “My Physics Adventure or It’s Never Too Late to Stop Pollution, So Let’s Start Yesterday”.

bjoern_tantau, to asklemmy in Thoughts on reddit reposter bots?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

I like it to keep track of communities that don’t have enough members here to be very active. I don’t participate in the discussions, but it’s good in case some news come out that I would miss otherwise.

Lemmit.online is also good, because it actually lets you know that it’s mirroring reddit. There was another instance that was mirroring reddit including comments, without any indication. I started “participating” in the discussions until I caught on to the fact that I wasn’t getting any answers or up- or downvotes because it was just full of bots. It soon landed on my blacklist.

bjoern_tantau, to baldurs_gate_3 in RESOLVED: No narrator voice Xbox Series X
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Very strange. I would contact support about this.

Does it also happen when you start a new game?

bjoern_tantau, to baldurs_gate_3 in Ending my honor run in shame
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Real people also sometimes do stupid shit that seems to go against their nature. I’d keep playing. You could make your regret inform all your future decisions.

bjoern_tantau, to selfhosted in Nextcloud zero day security
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

No, I’d actually be interested in that myself. I currently just rsync to another server.

bjoern_tantau, to asklemmy in What's something you'd like to leave behind in the old year and not carry into the new year?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Long Covid.

Being woken up by fireworks wasn’t conducive of healing, though.

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

For protection against ransomware you need backups. Ideally ones that are append-only where the history is preserved.

bjoern_tantau, to linuxmemes in Completely untrue nowadays...
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

OSX and Linux both use the Common Unix Printing System. It works more or less the same on both systems.

bjoern_tantau, to selfhosted in Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Only complaints I have with Nextcloud are that it’s slow and updates suck over the web interface. But apart from that it has been reliable. I’m not running it through Docker. In fact, my installation is so old that the database tables still have an oc_ prefix.
